Hey there!

My WAN port on my router got destroyed by a lightning strike, but the other ports on the router work fine. The issue is that I can no longer connect to the internet.

Is there a way for me to modify which port should be used as the WAN port.

I've had the ability to do that when installing OpenWRT firmware on other router hardware before. The reason I don't want to install OpenWRT on this router is because OpenWRT doesn't work properly with the broadcom chipset.

I can't seem to find a way in the TP-Link admin interface to set an alternative WAN port.

Note that I'm an advanced user and a software developer so I'm not afraid to try crazy stuff. Also I'm not worried about voiding my warranty since it's essentially trash if I can't work around the WAN port anyway.
